Alec’s diary continues:

Got up at 2.30 p.m. Gave Cedric a ring as I understand he rang last night at 8.0 p.m. Says he will come round about 4.0 p.m. Turned up so we had a bash for a bit on various tunes then he went home. Had my dinner after cooking same, also lighting fire and putting dog out. John looked round at 6.0 p.m. after giving me a tinkle on phone. Cedric turned up again about 6.15 p.m., Mum at 6.30 p.m. Had a good evening’s entertainment till 8.0 p.m. then cycled back to station for 8.22 p.m. thence on as booked. Failed to connect with train to Clevedon in morning so had another cup of tea with Mr Vaughn.
